Service is spot on without being pretentious. Food is amazing and the flavors are so well balanced. The chocolate course brought back fond memories of my mom’s kitchen when she made brownies and we kids scooped up the chocolate left in the mixing bowl. And the wine pairings are well balanced with the various courses. Well done. Highly recommend.
